abstract

We show that specializations of the 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal index labeled by an integer $N$ is given by $\textrm{Tr}\,{\cal M}^N$ where ${\cal M}$ is the Kontsevich-Soibelman monodromy operator for BPS states on the Coulomb branch. We provide evidence that the states enumerated by these limits of the index lead to a family of 2d chiral algebras $\mathcal{A}_{N}$. This generalizes the recent results for the $N=-1$ case which corresponds to the Schur limit of the superconformal index. We show that this specialization of the index leads to the same integrand as that of the elliptic genus of compactification of the superconformal theory on $S^2\times T^2$ where we turn on $\frac{1}{2} N$ units of $U(1)_r$ flux on $S^2$.

Generalised 4d Partition Functions and Modular Differential Equations

hep-th · 2025-12-01 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Generalized Schur partition functions Z_USp(2N)(q; alpha) for 4d N=2 USp(2N) theories satisfy order-(N+1) MLDEs with vanishing Wronskian index, alpha fixing MLDE parameters, with links to RCFT characters and a conjecture on quantum monodromy traces.

Macdonald Index From Refined Kontsevich-Soibelman Operator

hep-th · 2025-11-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A refined Kontsevich-Soibelman operator is conjectured to have trace equal to the Macdonald index for special 4d N=2 SCFTs, yielding closed forms for (A1, g) Argyres-Douglas theories.

On non-relativistic integrable models and 4d SCFTs

hep-th · 2026-04-21 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Generalized Schur indices of N=2 class S theories are expressed using eigenfunctions of non-relativistic elliptic Calogero-Moser models, with extensions claimed for N=1 SCFTs via limits of models like Inozemtsev.
